FLCL is a special type of animation, Fooly Cooly is special because it could've been only made as an animation. I don't mean because of the robots or anything else like that. Furi Kuri has this strange spastic energy that never slows down, even during the slower moments your hearts still racing from the last thing and is getting ready for the next spastic thing.

Description:Naota is a normal Japanese 6th grade boy (although a little cynical), but when his older brother leaves for America to play baseball, his brother leaves his 17 year old girlfriend Mamimi behind. Mamimi is sending mixed signals and advances to Naota, and he doesn't know what to do about her. But to make matters worse, Naota's world is totally turned upside down when he is run over by a woman on a Vespa. During their first encounter, she hits him over the head with her guitar, which then causes a horn to grow out of his forehead. She calls herself "Haruko" and her presence changes Naota's life to even further insanity.

The closest thing I can compare Maru Raba to is Edgar Wright's 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' the way that movie and this OVA are edited and directed make it seem like everything happens one after another like the entire thing actually happened in their respective run-time (Scott Pilgrim feels like it happened in about 2 hours and Faisuta feels like it happened in 30 minutes” read more

"Episode 6: FLCLimax
So, how do you end a series that starts with a pink-haired woman zooming on a vespa knocking a middle-schooler with a guitar in the head and causing giant robots to coming out of it?!?!
By making me cry bittersweet tears at the thought of growing up.
